I fear disabling upbears would just needlessly throttle engagement. People want to see the number go up so why take that away?
-
It would also make sort functions way worse. I don't want a web1.0 style forum, if I did then I'd go to one of the 1000s of dead forums with unsortable threads where random noise is weighted as highly as all other things

Then don’t upbear it or engage with the content. I don’t watch tv shows I don’t like because I actually don’t have to even though I know they exist

Yeah that's all social media. Block the things that make your doomscrolling unenjoyable instead of having a narc mindset about people enjoying shitposts different from the shitposts you enjoy

i would argue scrolling through endless “peepee poopoo” has a profoundly different effect on the experience of doomerism than scrolling through endless “genocide is good actually”.
Yeah I would argue scrolling thru mindless drivel instead of well-worded debunkings and people helping each other with finding flaws in the current system, which is what was on the tanks in large amounts, would have two different end results. <- We can phrame both things to sound like the "more bad" thing.
The thing is though, I'm not a narc that gets mad some people like to write about shit and piss and have a laugh about that, instead of my own treatedit: sorry, I thought you were someone else.

I never really liked the dunk tank and felt it at the very least fucked up my vibes. But I can block it!
Exactly. That's what i did. Most of the time when i saw a post on here that made me think "i didn't need to see this", it was posted in tdt. Which is why i just blocked the comm after a while. But the material posted there absolutely and without a doubt is dunkworthy, should be countered by people who have the stomach for engaging with such things, and irreverent shitposting absolutely is an effective counterpropaganda strategy. It's what allows you to control online conversations. That doesn't mean there is no room for carefully thought-out debunking effortposts as well, these are needed for one part of the audience, but the core of counterpropaganda should be ridicule, mockery and never playing defense. That's how you stay on top of such conversations.
